I'm a truck guy and I think OP is off about the practically of trucks, but those mini vans where all the seats go under the floor (Dodge caravan, not sure about others), have way WAY more cargo space than just about any pickup you'll see these days.

I have a Chrysler Pacifica and with all the seats dropped into the floor the cargo volume is tremendous. There’s still practical limitations on width and height due to the rear wheel wells, curvature of the interior walls, etc. A pickup can’t be beat for large bulky items.

Getting all the kids car seats out and back in is no fun though.

I have a bunch of whitewater paddler friends who are really into their minivans. Lots of space, lots of seats for vehicle shuttles, easy to add roof racks. Personally, I have an SUV but the minivans are nice for a lot of purposes.

Or even the old school mini Vans where you can remove all the seats
